Abstract/Notes: The author of this article describes her week observing a Montessori class in the Adam Vesviva School at Kibbutz Ga'ash, located on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. The headmaster of the school, Yariv Ya'ari, had previously been associated with Democratic Schools, an alternate to the public educational system, whose philosophy was established at Adam Vesviva. This approach has at its center respect, independence and child-centered learning. The article relates how impressed she was by the independence and mutual respect of the children and the wonderful cooperation among the faculty. She found the headmaster to be an excellent role model and advocate for Montessori education. Children and seniors enjoyed their meals together in the kibbutz dining hall in a wonderful example of intergenerational socialization and cooperation. The elementary room resembles any class in the United States, except that all the work done at Adam Vesviva is in Hebrew. Seeing a well-designed fort built by two 10-year-old boys, and recalling the same project by boys in her 9-12 class in America was a reminder of Montessori's understanding of the universality of the planes of development. The author was touched when some children, who were learning English, invited her to a special presentation of her book, "A Little Book of Peace." The children and teachers at Adam Vesviva put much importance on the value of cultural studies that included all members of the human family, often focusing on the importance of shared cultural heritage. The operation of a Montessori elementary class within the Adam Vesviva School is a work in progress, and the faculty is becoming familiar with the Montessori philosophy.

Abstract/Notes: Stress and burnout among teachers are serious problems because of the negative consequences associated with them that have contributed to the current crisis in the American education system. Until the problems of teacher stress and burnout are understood and addressed, efforts to restructure American education cannot succeed. This study assessed the relationships among perceived autonomy, perceived transformational leadership style and burnout in public elementary teachers, and the moderating/mediatinginfluence of teacher orientation (Montessori and traditional) on burnout levels. An integration of Maslach’s multi-dimensional burnout theory, self-determination theory, and the theory of transformational leadership formed the theoretical foundation of the study. A nonexperimental correlational design was used with survey methodology. A convenience sample of 82 public elementary teachers were recruited via educator social media sites and professional associations. Participants completed an online survey viaSurvey Monkey. Multiple regression analyses determined strong negative relationships among the predictor variables and the three dimensions of burnout as well as the significant predictive power of the independent variables. Moderation analyses determined a significant influence of teacher orientation across these relationships. The mediation analysis determined that teaching autonomy was a significant mediator between teacher orientation and emotional exhaustion burnout. The results from this study may be used for positive social change by developing strategies to mitigate burnout in public elementary teachers, increase engagement, improve teacher retention, ultimately improving student achievement and engagement.
